Breast Implants Vs Augmentation
Teardrop VS round Breast Implants?
I’m going to get breast augmentation and lift for my 18th birthday (not because I’m vain, I have a genetic problem and I would have to get them lifted anyway with severe scarring so I might as well get implants with it to make them look good). I originally thought about getting round ones but I have no volume in my upper chest. I can feel my chest bone stick out and then my breasts start. So I was wondering if teardrop implants could give me volume to my upper chest. My breasts cannot be lifted/implanted in a “standard” way due to their position (otherwise I would just get the lift because I’m a C cup and call it a day but a lift will not actually position them correctly to wear they look any better, it will just take away excess skin). Also my breasts have a lot of stretchmarks. Do you have any personal expierences/advice? Please post them. Thanks. Please don’t post anti-plastic surgery things because if you had my problem, I’m sure there’s a 99% chance you’d do the same thing I am.
Hello, I have implants myself. Of course your PS will really be the one you should ask as to what is best for you. However, I do know that most PS recommend round over teadrops. There have been a few problems with teardrop implants shifting and rotating. Teadrops can sometimes give a more natural look to the breast but round implants can give just as good results and often better in my opinion. As far as upper pole fullness, that will depend on the profile of the implant. Teardrops just give a natural slope to the breast and not fullnes up top. Mine are round high profile- which gives good projection and lots of upper pole fullness. Low profile = wider implant and less projection. Also, I think teardrops only come in cohesive gels and here in Canada at least- you must be of a certain age( I believe 21 or 22 ) before a PS will let you have cohesive gels. So that would rule out teardrops for you unless you are willing to wait or maybe the US (if that’s where you are ) has different regulations. As for stretch marks, implants can make stretch marks less visible as long as the implants aren’t huge and stretching the skin or they could make it worse. I’ve heard bio-oil is great for stretch marks as well as for scars. I never used it myself and my scars healed great by themselves but lots of girls on my implant forum use it and really love it. Anyway, it is confusing so it really is best to find a PS who is willing to take the time to answer all of your questions. By the way- I was very nervous about going under and the whole operation because i had never had an operation before- it was a breeze. painful for a few days but nothing unbearable and totally worth it. Your procedure will be more complicated because of the lift but I really hope that you will be happy with the results and happy with yourself. It is horrible to be young and at your prime but not happy with your body. Don’t let people tell you that your vain for getting cosmetic surgery because what you said is true- if most were in your shoes they would probably do the same thing. If you feel it will make you happy then go for it- it is your body and only you have to live with it so do it for you and not anyone else. Best of luck.
